Posted: Tuesday, January 01, 2008

Thieves made off with thousands of dollars of socks, shoes and other sportswear from the pro shop at Athens Country Club on Jefferson Road between 5 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.

In addition to 30 pairs of Wilson tennis shoes, worth about $2,000, thieves took $72 worth of socks (12 pairs), a backpack, several pairs of sunglasses, three women's outfits and $150.

Police didn't find a sign of forced entry, but the shop's manager said security cameras may have caught the burglary.
